Japan's world-leading technology industry: After 30 years of loss, this industry is still at the forefront of the world
The recently years, the impression to Japan may be more biased towards beauty, cherry blossoms, Japanese dramas, animation, two-dimensional, otaku culture… But as a highly developed capitalist country, Japan has a developed cultural industry and tourism industry. And also its technological strength is not to be underestimated.
Japan is an island country located in East Asia. Its territory consists of four large islands in Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and more than 6,800 small islands. The total area is 378,000 square kilometers. It is separated by the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Korean Strait, the Sea of Japan, and China. North Korea, South Korea and other countries face each other. The main ethnic group is Yamato, and Japanese is spoken, with a total population of about 126 million.
In 2019, Japan's GDP is close to 554.5 trillion yen, which is close to 5.1 trillion U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate; in 2019, Japan's population is about 126 million, and its per capita GDP is about 40,300 U.S. dollars. Due to its lack of resources and extreme dependence on imports, the developed manufacturing industry is the backbone of the national economy.
Next, let us take a look at the top-level technology industries in Japan.
Semiconductor
Perhaps the most well-known in Japan's technology industry is the semiconductor industry. In many links in the semiconductor industry chain, such as semiconductor equipment, semiconductor materials, and electronic components, there are Japanese companies.
In recent years, the Japanese semiconductor industry has declined under the pressure of the United States and international competition. But to this day, Japanese semiconductors still occupy a pivotal position in the fields of chip production equipment, production materials, etc., and have the entire process, complete system, and patents. Cover a comprehensive range of semiconductor business formats.
Advanced material
Japan has a long-term lead in the new materials industry. Japan's dominant material industries include carbon fiber, semiconductor materials, display materials, fine ceramics, organic EL materials, amorphous alloys, environmental materials, engineering plastics, etc.
In the field of carbon fiber, Japanese carbon fiber is in a leading position in the world in terms of technology, scale and quality. In the small tow carbon fiber market, Toray, Teijin and Mitsubishi together account for 49% of the global market share; in the large tow carbon fiber market, Toray and Mitsubishi together account for 54% of the global market share.
